Yale University Art Gallery

"David Goldblatt: No Ulterior Motive" opens today! On view through June 22, 2025, the exhibition highlights the photographer's commitment to documenting daily life in South Africa, particularly during apartheid. This major traveling retrospective traces Goldblatt's career from his early black-and-white photography to his later color prints, capturing the impact of racial segregation. The Gallery is open Tuesday through Sunday and admission is free.

"[Mangold's] paintings are not about arresting time, but rather recognizing that it moves ceaselessly, and all we can do is shape our passage through it." Read Hyperallergic's full review of "Sylvia Plimack Mangold: Tapes, Fields, and Trees, 1975–84" on view at Craig Starr Gallery through January 25. Mangold received her B.F.A from Yale University in 1961. We're grateful to house many of her paintings and works on paper in our own collections.

Learn more about how the humanities and sciences intersect at Yale University in this article about an undergraduate seminar taught by world renown astrophysicist Meg Urry. Titled "Expanding Ideas of Time and Space," this first-year seminar has been taught by Urry since 2018 and includes an early class visit to the Gallery where students are encouraged to "muse about time" and draw connections between the art they see and the physics they’ve learned. Sydney Simon, the Bradley Associate Curator of Academic Affairs, oversees university-level curricular engagement at the Gallery and works with faculty to design and teach many of the interdisciplinary course visits to the museum. Miriam Ashkin Stanton, PhD, the Lewis B. and Dorothy Cullman-Joan Whitney Payson Postdoctoral Fellow in Academic Affairs and Outreach, taught the session of Urry's class visit.
